Context of Matthew 24:13
11And many false prophets will appear and will deceive many people. 12Sin will be rampant everywhere, and the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 14And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, so that all nations will hear it; and then the end will come. 15“The day is coming when you will see what Daniel the prophet spoke about—the sacrilegious object that causes desecration standing in the Holy Place.” (Reader, pay attention!)
